    I had a parakeet that talked, but he never used the phrases I tried to teach him by repetition (such as Good Morning! Hello! etc). The phrases he said were ones he heard us use to each other: “You’re weird!” “Pretty good!” “Charming!” and one he picked up from the TV: “Oh. My. God.”

    I had a parakeet that never learned to say a word, but he did get the wolf whistle down pat.
